By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

The Wetumpka City Council voted to approve its 2018-2019 budget, purchase a new city vehicle and begin a survey of city property during an afternoon meeting on Tuesday at the city’s administrative building. The council unanimously passed the new budget. Mayor Jerry Willis spoke favorably about the new budget, and said it was “very well prepared.”

Willis said the results survey may allow the city to begin projects for economic development at the airport in the future. “This is getting our ducks in a row to (see), if we have opportunities for development on the airport, that we know exactly what we’ve got and we know what the elevations are and we’re not just whistling in the wind,” Willis said.

Willis said the new vehicle will replace an Impala that was previously driven by retired captain Robert Slowowski. “It’s a vehicle that we needed badly in the police department,” Willis said. “We’ll take the vehicle that it’s replacing, and we’ll put it back in the fleet as a back-up.” Before the meeting adjourned, members went into executive session to discuss a topographical survey of the

“We’re kind of in a different situation than we’ve been,” Willis said. “I’ve been here 10 years as the mayor, and this is the first time that the budget has actually had any wiggle room in it, at all, to allow us to come back and do some of the things that we have needed to do. “Things are looking better for us, and we just want to be good stewards of the taxpayer’s money and handle it correctly.” The council also voted in favor of purchasing a 2017 Ford Explorer, which

Franklin, he and an ECSO deputy responded to a 911 call from a residence on Shawnee Drive and took a statement from the victim in the week before McQueen’s arrest. Franklin said McQueen had just left the residence before he and the deputy arrived. Franklin said police initially made contact with McQueen on Aug. 24, and McQueen turned himself in to deputies the following Monday. Domestic violence burglary in the third degree is a Class B felony, which could result in a two-decade prison sentence, as well as up to $30,000 in fines upon conviction. First-degree stalking is a Class C felony, and domestic violence harassment in the third degree and first-degree criminal trespassing are both Class A misdemeanors. As of Thursday, McQueen remained in the Elmore County Jail on bonds totaling $102,000. McQueen’s case was assigned to Elmore County Circuit Court Judge Glenn Goggans, and the date for a preliminary hearing has not been set.

“We were able to document and research that it’s actually older than what all the history books are saying,” Young said. “It was occupied over the years as a bank. It closed during the depression, and reopened years and years later as different things like attorneys’ offices and hairdressing salons.” Throughout her seven years working at the chamber, Young said she has experienced a number of unexplainable events. “On any given day, at any moment, you will hear footsteps up and down our staircases. Our chandelier in the old lobby will swing back and forth and turn on and off by itself. We have all different types of unexplained noises. Of course, it is an old building, but some of these noises are actual voices, like whole conversations,” Young said. She said they’ve also heard furniture move and seen objects turn up in places that they weren’t left. At one point, Young said the chamber’s former executive director saw a full apparition at the top of the stairs in the lobby. “There was a gentleman in a top hat and long tails, and he was just kind of looking over the bannister at us,” Young said. The building’s most haunted abject, Young said, is a scarecrow decoration that is typically kept on the third floor. During the building’s renovations, Young said construction workers took the

scarecrow apart and locked it in an upstairs bathroom, where it was later found reassembled. Young said she believes the scarecrow is haunted by the spirit of a little girl. “He or she moves from room to room all the time. We never know which room it’s going to be in or where it’s going to be,” Young said. “You can hear it moving at different times.” Participants are allowed to bring any type of digital recording device, but are asked to refrain

from taking video during the event. Young said tickets are currently limited due to spacing, and can be purchased online. Because of the high demand, Young said they are looking to add another event the following Saturday or host a paranormal investigation of the Elmore County Museum.

WPD taking unused, expired prescriptions By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

The Wetumpka Police Department is partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration to host its annual Drug Take Back Day at the Wetumpka Walmart from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 27. The event is part of the DEA’s National Drug Take Back Initiative. According to WPD Sgt. Ella Roberts, the event serves as a safe way to dispose of unused or expired prescription drugs. Roberts said all members of the community have to do is drop off their medication for disposal and no questions will be asked. Roberts cited data from the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, stating twice as many percent of Americans regularly abuse prescription drugs than those who abuse street drugs. She also

said 70 percent of prescription drug abusers get them from people they know. “A lot of people get medication and they have a little bit left here and there,” Roberts said. “When you have friends of family come by, and they’re addicted and you don’t know it, they can start raiding your home.” In some cases, Roberts said, some medication taken incorrectly or recreationally can be just as dangerous as street drugs, and the Take Back Day reduces the risk of prescription drug abuse. The WPD can take liquids, as long as they’re in their original contained, but cannot accept needles of any kind. For more information about Drug Take Back Day or the Drug Take Back Initiative, visit the DEA’s website at Dea.org or call Roberts at 334-567-5321 ext. 205.

Mill Creek baseball fields damaged in Aug. 29 storm By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

The baseball fields at Mill Creek Park in Millbrook sustained significant damage during a severe thunderstorm last Wednesday. “I’m not exactly sure what happened, either some strong winds or a micro-tornado,” Millbrook Parks and Recreation Director Scott Davis said. “I don’t know. I wasn’t there.” In addition to finding two downed trees at the park, Davis said a light pole on field three collapsed, a canopy net was torn to pieces and the third base dugout was toppled. While he does not have a specific dollar amount, Davis estimated the costs to repair will be more than $50,000. Luckily, Davis said much of the damage will likely be covered by insurance. “I’m no contractor, and these are just guesstimates,” Davis said. “Right now, I’m working out prices. I’ve already reached out to

contractors for several things.” Hopefully, Davis said, the dugout will be reconstructed in two weeks, the nets will be hung in one or two months and a new light pole will be installed before Christmas. Thursday, Davis said efforts to clean up at the park have already started. “That’s all we can do, make sure that (people) aren’t stepping on glass from the light pole,” Davis said. “The debris is blocking the sidewalk on the way to the concession stand and the nets are hanging down and we don’t want kids climbing on them.” According to Davis, fall ball starts soon and it will not be affected by the storm damage. Davis said they will be out a light pole, and he plans to make do by temporarily using a large tent as a dugout. While it is unfortunate there was so much weather damage, Davis said he is glad no one was killed or injured during the storm.

Jones Drugs celebrated its grand opening from Aug. 27-30. The Penny Lane Boutique also operates inside the store.

Jones Drugs opens in Millbrook As an independent pharmacy, Jones said it is easier for pharmacists and technicians at the community to engage with customers. “We’re accessible,” Jones said. “We don’t have a corporation keeping us too busy.” “You get to talk to the pharmacist face to face here,” his wife Duchi Jones said. Hamilton said she is passionate about her career as a pharmacist and is excited about serving customers in this capacity. “It’s personal. We know your name. You come as a guest and leave as our friend,” Hamilton said. “This isn’t just my job, it’s my calling to provide the community with excellent healthcare.” Additionally, the Penny Lane Boutique also operates out of Jones Drugs. Throughout the week, Hamilton said they have invited members of the community to help out by passing out flyers and providing live music. Going forward, Hamilton said they will continue to be involved in the community by supporting local schools and nonprofits.

Jones Drugs commemorated its opening during a ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday morning. Store and pharmacy manager Penny Hamilton said the ribbon cutting event was the highlight of a weeklong celebration which began the previous Monday. Owner James Jones, who owns several other local pharmacies, said they were looking to open a business in Millbrook. He described their store at 4117 Highway 14 as “the perfect location.” In the two weeks that Jones Drugs has been open, he said business has been going better than expected. “I can’t say enough about how many people have trusted us to fill their prescriptions,” Jones said. So far, Hamilton said they have received a high volume of positive feedback. “I couldn’t be more thrilled,” she said. “I’m so overwhelmed with all of the love and support from the community.”

Flowers talks ’78 governor’s race S

ince this is a gubernatorial election year, let’s reminisce about an epic governor’s race. The 1978 governor’s race is one of the classics in Alabama political lore. That governor’s race between the three heavyweights, former Governor Albert Brewer, Attorney General Bill Baxley, and Lt. Governor Jere Beasley, was expected to be titanic. All three men had last names beginning with the letter “B,” thus, the press coined the phrase “the three Bs.” The Republicans were relegated to insignificance on the gubernatorial stage. Therefore, the winner of the Democratic primary would be governor. Meanwhile, over in east Alabama, a little known former Auburn halfback named Fob James strolled into the governor’s race. Fob’s entry evoked very little interest, only curiosity as to why he would want to enter the fray against three well-known major players. Fob was exposed as a card carrying Republican but even a political novice like Fob knew he could not win as a Republican so he qualified to run as a Democrat along with the three Bs. Fob had become very wealthy by starting a successful manufacturing company in Opelika. When Fob signed up to run for governor the press wrote him off as a rich gadfly who simply chose politics, rather than golf, as his pastime. Little did they know that the fact he was rich and had a lot of time on his hands could spell trouble for the average political opponent who had to worry about fundraising and feeding their family while running a full-time campaign. Fob realized he was no political professional like the three Bs, who had spent their

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist

entire political adulthood in public office, so he sought out professional advice. He had the money to think big and wanted to know who was the best political consultant in the South. It was an easy answer. Deloss Walker, a political public relations genius who lived in Memphis. His track record for electing governors of southern states was 5-0. Walker was the most renowned and expensive political guru in the country in 1977. Fob quietly sought out Walker, who at first refused to take Fob’s race. Walker’s first impression was that even he could not mold Fob into a winner against three well-financed, experienced thoroughbreds. Walker’s one condition for taking the race was Fob must do exactly what he said. He must be scripted and never deviate from Walker’s pat ads and speeches. Nobody was aware Fob had garnered the genius Walker and had already been to political school when he signed up to run for governor in the spring of 1978. Brewer, Baxley and Beasley ignored Fob. Baxley even praised him saying, “Fob would be a good governor. Too bad he’s not a serious candidate.” Those words would come back to haunt Baxley. Walker’s initial polling showed Fob actually had some name identification from being an Auburn halfback in the 1950s. It also picked up on the fact that Auburn alumni yearned for an Auburn man to be governor instead of a University of

Alabama alumnus. However, Fob’s best attribute was that he always followed Walker’s script. He traveled the state in a yellow school bus and let the three Bs tear each other up. Baxley, Beasley and Brewer spent all their time and money attacking each other with negative ads, all the while Fob ran positive ads evoking a clean image of himself. By mid-May most Alabamians had seen so many negative ads and mudslinging by the three Bs they were of the opinion that all three had probably shot their mothers in a bar fight but they liked old Fob James, even if they thought his name was “Bob James.” It was too late for the three Bs when they saw a poll about a week before the election showing Fob ahead of all three of them. Baxley refused to believe it and kept hammering at Beasley and Brewer, ignoring Fob. When the votes were counted, Fob was in first place. Baxley finished second because black voters were with him. Brewer was third and Beasley finished fifth behind State Senator Sid McDonald. Fob easily beat Baxley in the runoff. After all, what could Baxley say? He had run all over the state for three months saying Fob would make a good governor. Fob James had pulled off one of the most amazing upset victories in the history of Alabama politics. The Fob James story of the 1978 governor’s race is truly one for the record books. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

Reader: God commands us to love one another Dear Editor, Stop and think before you speak. Because we all have done things that we don’t want said about us, so don’t put things on this crazy Facebook mess

about other people. We are not to judge other people, because we never know what is going to happen to us. Some people do want to help other people. Some people say, “Oh, that won’t happen to me.” That’s because they don’t believe in what God says.

God is our judge, and nobody else. If we don’t try to help other people get their lives back together after they make a mistake, we will all be in trouble with God on judgment day. Betty Wesson

Monthly event cruises into Wetumpka By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

Cars of all kinds lined the streets of downtown Wetumpka on Saturday evening as part of the first monthly Cruise-In, co-hosted by Vault Variety Shop owner Sharon Brooks and local car enthusiast Jack Davis. “(Car enthusiasts) wanted to have Wetumpka in their lineup,” Brooks said. “They go other places, but they wanted to bring this to Wetumpka.” Brooks said anyone who owned an antique or unique vehicle was invited to show it off. “We welcomed all cars, trucks, motorcycles,” Brooks said. Hundreds of people came out and more than 50 vehicles were included the event. “We are so proud of this event,” Brooks said. “I can’t say enough how 100 percent happy I am with the turnout. I’m overwhelmed with joy over the turnout.” Brooks said the event appealed to people of all ages. “It’s kid friendly and family friendly. We want a place where people can bring their kids,” Brooks said. Brooks said the event received a largely positive response from the community, and she was pleased to see “the smiles on the faces,” of everyone who visited.

Visitors look at some of the cars that were displayed during the inaugural Cruise-In in downtown Wetumpka. According to co-host Sharon Brooks, dozens of vehicles were shown off and hundreds of people attended.

“Look at the smiles as they walk by,” Brooks said. “I love it.” Davis said the Cruise-In attracted people from all over central Alabama and gave the community the chance to make an impression on visitors. “It’s going to bring people in from other cities. We’ve got people here from Opelika and Dothan, and once the word gets out, we’ll get people from

Birmingham, Huntsville, Calera and all over,” Davis said. As a car enthusiast, Davis said the Cruise-Ins gave him the chance to meet people with similar interests and learn new things. “You learn how to do different things to different cars. Somebody else may be building a car that you’re fixing to build. You can talk to them and learn

Concerns over a potentially dangerous substance mailed to a Wetumpka man turned out to be a false alarm, according to Elmore County Sheriff Bill Franklin. On Aug. 28, the Holtville Slapout Volunteer Fire Department, the ECSO, the Elmore County Emergency Management Agency and the Montgomery Fire and Rescue Hazmat Team were dispatched to an address that morning after a homeowner reported receiving a suspicious envelope in his mailbox. Inside the envelope, Franklin said the resident found another envelope containing a white powdery substance. Franklin said testing done by the hazmat team later indicated the substance was harmless. As of Aug. 29, Franklin said authorities do not know where the envelope came from or why it was mailed. Franklin said similar events have happened in the past, and it is not known whether this incident is connected to those. “About 10 years ago, we had the same thing happen,” Franklin said. “It happened in about four or five different places.” Franklin said the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the sheriff’s office by calling 334567-5441.

what they’ve done and how they did it, and then you can take it back and do that yourself,” Davis said. As a business owner, Brooks said the events could serve as a good opportunity for merchants in the downtown area in the future. “Imagine, if all the businesses were open, all the patronizing you could do on top of mingling and looking at cars,” Brooks said. “We were closed today. I opened tonight, and we have been making sales in there.” During the event, a petition seeking the city’s support for the event. “I just wanted to get signatures, just to let the city know how much (people) really, really want this,” Brooks said. Davis said the city officials he talked to seemed happy about the event. While it is not an officially sanctioned fundraiser for the Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce, Brooks said vendor fees for booths that are set up on the lot or sidewalk around the chamber’s building will be donated to them. Because this was the first event, both Brooks and Davis said they had a lot om for growth going forward. In the future, Davis and Brooks said the events will feature live music, dancing and other activities. Hopefully, he said, the Cruise-Ins will lead up to a yearly car show that is currently in the planning process.

The Montgomery Fire and Rescue Hazmat Team was one of the four agencies that responded to a report of a suspicious substance mailed to a Wetumpka resident.

The Kelly Fitzpatrick Memorial Gallery is gearing up to host the Central Alabama Showcase exhibition, which is set to open to the public Sept. 10. President Carol Hickman said the Kelly Fitzpatrick Memorial Gallery, also known as The Kelly, reached out to art organizations all over central Alabama and invited them to submit their best works from local artists to be a part of the show. She said more than 120 pieces of art will be featured. “They are bringing the best of the best of their art. They picked artists that have won shows, and they could each bring up to 35 pieces,” Hickman said. “It’s really fabulous art.” According to Hickman, paintings of all types will be shown off. “It’s not just one medium. It’s any medium that they wanted to submit,” Hickman said. “We’ve got watercolors. We’ve got oils. We’ve got acrylics. We’ve got pastels. Hickman said visitors will also be able to view more than just paintings. “There are several sculptures that are unbelievable,” she added. Hickman said the art will be judged by Alabama State Council on the Arts Deputy Director Elliott Knight during a reception at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 18. Hickman said refreshments will be served, and the event is open to the community. The Kelly Fitzpatrick Memorial Gallery is located at 408 S. Main St. on the second floor. Hickman said the exhibition is free to the community, and will be open on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. until early January.

Ride Against Domestic Violence set for Oct. 13 By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

Three local motorcycle groups are working to raise funds for the surviving children of the July 7 murder-suicide that claimed the lives of Redland Elementary School teacher Charlene Orsi and her daughter, Cadence Orsi. Bob Orsi, the husband and father, killed both of them, police said, before killing himself. Cadence Orsi’s two triplet sisters were injured, and their older sister escaped and was able to run for help. The injured sisters are said to be in

stable condition and working towards recovery. “A bunch of the motorcycle groups wanted to do something to raise money for the (surviving) kids,” Blue Knights of Alabama member Bubba Ganous said. The Blue Knights, along with the Iron Warriors Motorcycle Club and the Shamrocks Motorcycle Club, are hosting Ride Against Domestic Violence at Redland on Oct. 13. Ganous said registration opens at 9 a.m., and the cost is $20 per bike. The ride will begin at 10:30 a.m., is expected to last between 45 minutes and an hour and will be routed through

Wetumpka and Tallassee. Ganous said he and other members of the community felt the need to help. Hopefully, he said, the ride will raise money and make the community more educated on an important issue. “It happened right in our backyard. It was so close to us,” Ganous said. “What better time to do it than in October, when we recognize domestic violence? There’s just not attention that goes to this.” Ganous said he also hopes the event will inspire more members of the community to lend their support to the

family. “Hopefully, this will be a chain reaction,” he said. All of the proceeds will benefit the Orsi family. Because they’re in the early stages of planning the event, Ganous said there is not a set fundraising goal. “The biggest goal is to raise some money for the family, and the other goal is just to bring attention to the issue itself,” Ganous said. Ganous also said no one has to ride to get involved, and donations are always welcome.

Elmore County Player of the Week

Edgewood’s Potts runs wild in win By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

The Edgewood Wildcats improved to 2-1 on the season after a 34-3 win against LeeScott Academy Potts on Friday night. Junior running back Kolby Potts led the offense, finishing with 134 rushing yards and three touchdowns. “He’s a workhorse,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “He always wants the football and that’s a positive thing. He’s really developed from this time last year. He’s understanding how to play the running back position.” Potts, who is the Elmore County Player of the Week, was the workhorse for the Wildcats, rushing the ball 11 times more than anyone else on the team. He got going early in the game with his first big runs coming in the opening quarter. With Edgewood near midfield, Potts busted through the middle of the line for a first down. On the next snap, an outside run was called but Potts made a cut through the middle of the field and ran into the end zone for a 32-yard score. “It feels pretty good,” Potts said. “You always want to score but I do like seeing my teammates score the majority of the time.” His first touchdown of the season gave the Wildcats a 7-0 lead, which was all the team needed, but the junior was not finished. As the sun went down in Auburn, Potts added another touchdown for the visitors. His offensive line made a hole to the left and Potts did the rest. He had to avoid one tackler on his 17-yard scramble to the goal line. His final score of the game came on the first play of the fourth quarter. With Edgewood closing in on the end zone, it was an easy to decide who was going to get the ball. Potts avoided a big push from LeeScott’s defensive line and ran it 4 yards to give the Wildcats a 34-0 lead. “My linemen just do a good job of opening up holes and I take advantage of it, running as fast as I can,” Potts said. “My O-line does a great job blocking for me and without them, I wouldn’t be running anywhere.” Potts also plays on the defensive side of the ball. He finished Friday’s game with 2.5 tackles and one pass breakup. During both of Edgewood’s victories this season, Potts has been the star. In wins over Northside Methodist and LeeScott, the junior has averaged 128.5 rushing yards per game and 6.8 yards per carry. “Kolby is a huge part of our team and getting him going is something we want to do every Friday night,” Free said. “But we can’t put all of the pressure on one player because that wouldn’t be fair to him.” Before the season began, Free said Potts was one of Edgewood’s players who was prepared for a breakout season. After three games, the junior looks like he’s on his way to turning a few heads. “Coming into this season, we knew Kolby was capable of this so it’s exciting to watch his talent on Friday nights,” Free said.

GETTING IT RIGHT Instant replay debuts in opening week By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

During the first Friday night of the 2018 football season, history was made at Hohenberg Field. Wetumpka walked away with a victory but the conversations from the game were about things other than football. The night marked the first time an AHSAA regularseason game used instant replay to determine a call. Late in the first half, Fairhope appeared to fumble the ball inside Wetumpka’s 1-yard line. The play resulted in a change of possession after a touchback was called, seemingly paving the way for the hosts to take a 14-0 lead into halftime. However, Fairhope coach Tim Carter saw something he did not agree with and challenged the call on the field. While fans around the stadium seemed confused by the new challenge flag, head referee Skip Powe ran to the sideline to review the ruling. Two minutes later, Powe and his assistant determined the runner’s knee was down before fumbling

so the call on the field was overturned. “The goal of each official should always be to get the play right,” Powe said. “The speed of the game and the number of eyes on the field don’t always allow you to view all angles. The replay provided our crew the chance to look at the play again and get it right.” And if one surprise was not enough, the replay center was not finished yet. With Wetumpka leading 21-14 in the third quarter, a scuffle broke out between players from both teams. After a lengthy discussion, a decision was made to call offsetting personal foul penalties but the Fairhope player was to be ejected. Carter once again challenged the ruling and the officials went back to the monitor. Powe and his assistant referee were not at the monitor long before they determined a player on both teams threw a punch. The head official returned to the field and both players were to be See REPLAY • Page A9

After returning from Dothan with its second victory of the season, Wetumpka will be back home for its first region matchup. The Indians host Calera at Hohenberg Field on Friday night and coach Tim Perry hopes his team can repeat as Class 6A Region 3 champions. “Every team’s goal is to win a region championship and that’s our goal too,” Perry said. “That begins this week with region play and that has a lot of implications.” With its 44-14 win over Northview, Wetumpka (2-0) kept a stronghold on the top spot of Class 6A in the Alabama Sports Writers Association poll. Three different players passed the century mark in rushing yards during the victory, with Terrance Thomas leading the way with 147 yards. Perry said the team has prepared well for the beginning of region play but there is always room for progress. As the importance for each week enhances, the Indians want to find ways to improve across the board. “We hope to turn it up a notch every week,” Perry said. “We want to eliminate a lot of the mistakes we’ve been making and execute better on both sides of the ball.” Calera (0-2) is coming off of a 27-7

loss at Pell City. Senior Cornelious Brown completed 64.3 percent of his passes and threw for 208 yards as the offense clicked throughout the night. Due to turnovers, the Eagles had several drives stall but the offense is still lethal enough to cause problems in Wetumpka. “They throw the ball extremely well,” Perry said. “Their quarterback is very impressive.” Former Alabama quarterback Andrew Zow is the new coach for Calera and he has helped Brown grow into a better quarterback. The senior has averaged 303.5 total yards of offense per game this season, which is almost a full 100 yards more than he averaged in 2017. Junior Quindarius Crews has been Brown’s top target this season. Crews already has 245 receiving yards and a touchdown on 13 receptions through the first two weeks. Senior Tyler Ray has averaged 61 receiving yards per game and scored a touchdown in the season opener for Calera. “They’ll be the first team we face that is more pass-oriented than run-oriented,” Perry said. “They have a great group of offensive skill players, run great routes and catch the ball well.” Wetumpka’s secondary has lived by the “bend but don’t break” philosophy. With new players at two defensive back positions, there have been some holes in See INDIANS • Page A9

REGION PLAY BEGINS:

Stanhope Elmore looks to rebound from emotional loss

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

After the heartbreaking loss to Prattville last week, Stanhope Elmore must quickly recover as the start of region play brings another tough foe to Foshee-Henderson Stadium. The Mustangs will host an undefeated Benjamin Russell squad Friday night and Stanhope coach Brian Bradford believes his team will be ready to respond. “Everybody knows that we played well (vs. Prattville) but we have to fix some of the mistakes because we let one slip away,” Bradford said. “I think everyone is ready to put that one behind us and get back on the winning track.” The two schools have played each other 21 times, including eight meetings over the past decade. Friday night will mark the first region matchup in the series since 2011. Benjamin Russell has won the last four meetings with two of those wins coming in Millbrook. The Wildcats (2-0) are under the direction of new head coach Kevin Smith but his systems have been a staple of the Benjamin Russell program since 2004. Bradford is 0-4 in his career against

File / The Herald

Stanhope Elmore will play Benjamin Russell in a region game for the first time since 2011.

Benjamin Russell, including three losses when he was at Chilton County. “We’re not too familiar with them but I remember them from when I was in Clanton,” Bradford said. “There’s a new coach but they do a lot of the same staff and there are some differences too.” BRHS quarterback Landon Cotney will lead the way

for the visiting offense. The Wildcats have balanced the passing game with the rushing attack this season, leading to 31.5 points per game. Bradford said putting pressure on Benjamin Russell’s offensive line will be a key to stopping the offense. “They’re a very good football team and very disciplined,” Bradford said.

“On offense they do a lot of good things in the RPO game. They’re going to be a challenge.” Defensively, the Wildcats have allowed just 21.5 points per game. Senior linebacker Marquel Jackson is the team’s leading tackler but Bradford said his concerns lie in the trenches. Junior Pokey Norris is second on the team in

tackles after finishing with 11 in the team’s win over Clay County. Bradford said Norris could be the best nose guard Stanhope Elmore (1-1) will face this season. “They’re equally good on defense that they are on offense,” Bradford said. “They do a lot of things defensively that gives people fits.” Special teams has been another key to success for the Wildcats. Senior Kobi Crabb returned a punt for a touchdown, which helped swing the momentum in last week’s comeback victory. Bradford said there is no weak link in Stanhope’s opponents this week but the Mustangs are already used to playing in big games this season. In the season opener, Stanhope defeated Bradford’s former team then the Mustangs turned around to play Prattville in what Bradford called the most important game of every season. Now, with region play beginning, he said it is just the next game up. “They know the importance of it,” Bradford said. “We try to approach every one of them like it’s the most important game of the season though. And we’ll continue to do that throughout the rest of the season.”

Holtville hits road with Weekend Football Forecast new winning attitude By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

After winning a season opener for the first time since 2009, the Holtville Bulldogs will begin region play with a daunting name on the schedule. The Bulldogs will travel to Handley on Friday night to play a school that they have never beaten before. “In the past they’ve been a perennial power in 4A,” coach Jason Franklin said. “They’re two years removed from a state championship. They have super nice facilities with some of the best in high school football. They expect to win and no one probably gives a chance to win so we have to get our guys to believe that we have a chance to go out and compete with them.” Holtville has an 0-9 all-time record against Handley, losing to the Tigers in each of the last six games. Last season, Handley won at Holtville after jumping out to a 27-0 lead which proved to be insurmountable as the Tigers held on to win 34-21. The Bulldogs appear to be a big underdog in the game but the team has been nearly perfect over

the first two weeks of the season. Holtville used a strong rushing attack to knock off Verbena in the preseason jamboree and continued the momentum into a 42-0 win over Central Coosa during Week One. Holtville’s defense has yet to allow a point on defense this season. The team has yet to face a pressure situation this season because of the blowouts but Franklin said that does not bother him. “With a team that’s an older group, I don’t worry about it.,” Franklin said. “I don’t worry about the fact that we haven’t had to play four quarters of football yet. I worry about the mental aspect that our players will be more concerned with the Handley of the past instead of the Handley that we’re playing right now.” Handley has won just two games since its victory in the 2016 state championship. The Tigers had three one-possession losses since then but the offense has been the key struggle. They have averaged just 14.5 points per game over the last 11 games. However, senior QuonDarius Lyons presents problems that concern Franklin and the Bulldogs. See BULLDOGS • Page A10

Elmore County student Jay Kujala and several volunteers dig to install one of the goalposts of an outdoor basketball court at the Wetumpka Municipal Park as part of Kujala’ss Eagle Scout project.

Teens build basketball court at municipal park By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

The Wetumpka Municipal Park has a new addition, thanks to the work of a local teenager. As part of his Eagle Scout project, Boy Scout Troop 50 member and Elmore County High School junior Jay Kujala has spent the past three weeks building an outdoor basketball court. The project was finished Saturday.

“We’re supporting community activities in the city of Wetumpka, and all of it is done at no expense to the city,” Troop 50 Assistant Scoutmaster Gardner Purdue said. According to Kujala, the court is about the size of an average high school basketball court and was intended for free, recreational use by everyone. Kujala, along with fellow troop member Hunter Johnson, their fathers Jason Kujala and

Kevin Johnson and several other volunteers built the court by laying down a concrete surface, painting boundary lines and installing basket supports in the ground. Kujala said he first got the idea for the project after he heard there was a need in the city. “My dad knew (Wetumpka Parks and Recreation Director) coach (Ron) Dickerson,” Kujala said. “He said they had been See COURT • Page A10

Wetumpka graduates Hunter Reese and Brandon Kennedy have each received recognition before the opening games of the college football season Saturday. Reese, a senior linebacker at Troy, was selected to the preseason All-Sun Belt first team. Kennedy, a junior offensive lineman in his first year at Tennessee, was named the team’s starting center. Both played for Wetumpka under coach Tim Perry and were teammates in 2012 and 2013.

Wildcats ready for region play after quick start By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Edgewood has pushed its way through a tough three weeks to prepare for region play. The Wildcats sit at 2-1 after three games against AISA-AAA teams and coach Darryl Free is pleased with the position his team is in. “My main goal was to teach these kids how to win,” Free said. “I think it’s a blessing for us to start fast and have success at the beginning of the year. Our next obstacle will be carrying it into region play when it matters the most.” That obstacle begins Friday night when the Wildcats faces Springwood. Edgewood won its first road game of the season with a 34-3 win over Lee-Scott Academy last week. Springwood (2-0) is coming off of an early bye week but has wins over Success Unlimited and Cornerstone Christian. Free said he’s unsure which team will have the advantage because of the off week but Springwood may take advantage of the extra preparation time. “They played both of their games at home and have had an extra week to pay attention to what we do,” Free said. “So, it’ll be a new challenge for us to mix it up and stay balanced.” The Springwood Wildcats are under the direction of new coach John Gartman. He has brought in a new offense that relies heavily on the rushing attack. “They’re old school,” Free

said. “They line up in a double tight end set. They like to play 11 on 11 and they’re coming downhill at you. So, it’s another new challenge for us, a new offense that we haven’t seen yet.” Senior running back Dylan Anderson leads the Springwood offense. He rushed for five touchdowns in the first two weeks. Sophomore O.J. Tolbert added three touchdowns of his own in a blowout win over Cornerstone. Springwood sits right on the edge of the top 10 in AISA in the most recent Alabama Sports Writers Association poll. The

Preusser Program. “My grandma told me there was a program and then I tried it,” Preusser said. “I’ve been for vacation in the U.S, and I liked it so I’ve tried it and now I’m here.” Preusser will spend the entirety of her junior year at Stanhope before returning to Germany at the end of May. She has made an impact in her short time with the Mustangs. In the season opener, Stanhope defeated Holtvile, 25-17, 15-25, 15-11. Preusser led the team with seven kills and connected on eight of her 10 serve attempts. Coach Virginia Barber called Preusser a “program-changing” talent and was pleased with the junior’s first performance. “She can do better, I’ve seen her do better,” Barber said. “But she was awesome; we’re really excited to have her here and she brings a lot of energy to us.” Preusser knew her performance in the first match was not her best. However, she was still happy to get out on to the court in a competitive atmosphere again. “It’s the fans, the team, it’s everything,” Preusser said. “It’s volleyball.” In Germany, Preusser has played the sport for the last eight years. She plays for her club team in Osnabrück, which is located in the northern part of Germany.

Wildcats are the only undefeated team left in AISA-AA Region 1 and are considered one of the favorites to earn a playoff spot in the region this season. Edgewood will begin its quest to end a two-year playoff drought with the region opener. Free said the goal now is still learning what it takes to win and how to finish but a trip to the playoffs may enter the picture if the run of success continues. “As long as we can maintain what we do and play Edgewood football, we’ll just look at the scoreboard at the end of the night and see what happens,” Free said.

Stanhope Elmore’s Lotte Preusser, left, and Alisson Evans work together for a block versus Holtville.

“We play club volleyball, not high school so it’s a little different,” Preusser said. “You play different with a different team. I have to learn to hit with different sets here. My setter in Germany knows how to set my balls for me so we just have to learn how to do it together.” While Preusser continues to adjust to the play on the court, there are plenty of changes around her everyday life she is getting used to. Despite the differences, she is enjoying her time. “It’s good, I like it here very much,” Preusser said. “The laws (are different). It’s crazy when younger people drive the cars. Everything is much bigger, it’s much hotter, the food, everything is different.” Preusser will have to miss her

club’s season, which begins in September. At the high school level, Preusser will play in shorter matches and in a shorter season. “It’s OK because my team is good and I know I have my place on that team,” Preusser said. “It’s not like I don’t have a team anymore and I get to play here so I’m not missing an entire season.” As she gets closer to graduating from high school, Preusser has begun thinking about her playing future. College athletics are bigger in the U.S. and the junior thinks it would be cool to get a chance to play at that level. However, Preusser said she wants to graduate in Germany and focus on school. “I don’t want to be a professional,” she said. “I would like to study something and maybe make volleyball more as a hobby.” As for her time with Stanhope Elmore, Preusser has brought more excitement to the volleyball program. Her spikes during the season opener brought the loudest cheers from the home crowd during the emotional victory. While she may still be catching her opponents off guard, it will not take long for other teams to figure out what the Mustangs have found. “They’re going to start finding out real soon but we’re still playing our game,” Barber said.

the team’s passing defense. In the season opener, the Indians allowed 231 passing yards to Fairhope but had two key interceptions to keep the game out of reach. Wetumpka added another takeaway in the win over Northview with an interception just before halftime to build on its lead before the break. Calera will be expected to gain the majority of its yards

Replay ejected from the game. “We were told that’s what was going to happen though. I just didn’t expect to have two reviews tonight,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. “They went against us but we kind of anticipated one going against us. That’s the good and the bad of it though. The good is that one time, we’re going to get some calls and challenges that are going to go our way.” Perry’s team shook off the replay rulings and won the game 35-17. Despite the calls going against his team, Perry understands the importance of replay in football. “Instant replay is going to be the thing of the future so we thought we would go ahead and get on board now to get used to it,” Perry said. “It’s a threeyear trial experiment and they’ll encourage more teams to do it. I don’t like slowing the game down but if it turns your way, then I guess it’s worth it.” The AHSAA partnered with DVSport Inc. in April to bring replay to varsity football this season. DVSport, a Pittsburghbased company, is one of the nation’s best in instant replay and has been working at the collegiate level since 2005. The replay service provides most of the hardware needed to run any review of a play. That includes a monitor which shows multiple video camera streams and a modified video game controller that controls the video on the screen. This makes it possible to view the video at live speed, pause the video or watch the video frame by frame. “I thought replay worked great last Friday,” DVSport employee Danny Vliet said. “The fact that they were able to use the system to overturn calls means replay worked as it should and helped the refs get the correct call.”

through the air but the hosts hope to make the big plays when needed before the Eagles can get on the scoreboard. Senior safety Trey Jones will likely be called on to provide those boosts. Wetumpka has won four of six region openers since Perry took over the program. The Indians look to extend their current 10-game winning streak at Hohenberg Field.

continued from page A7

Mark Jones is entering his third year as the director of officials for the AHSAA. He said he’s excited to see what replay has to offer but he is unsure how long it will stick around. “I like it,” Jones said. “The technology has advanced so much and it’s something that can be done at the high school level… It’s going to take time getting used to it but we’ve taken the opportunities to learn it and explain it to coaches.” The AHSAA held a training session for all officials in May on how to use the software. Jones said officials get to their games early to get familiar with each setup so they know exactly what to do if a replay is needed. According to Jones, referees have two minutes to look at the video while deciding on the play. If those two minutes – not including the discussion time spent away from the monitor – are not enough time, the ruling on the field stands as called. As with most replay systems in sports, the phrase “indisputable video evidence” is listed in the AHSAA replay guidelines. Wetumpka was one of four sites to use a DVSport monitor at its game in Week 0. Jones said there has been more interest shown in buying the software since the opening game as more than 20 schools have the replay available for their home games. “I can see it lasting, especially if they see the benefits it can be for the officials to be a tool to assist them,” Powe said. “Fortunately, my crew should have two or three games this regular season to utilize it. We look forward to those opportunities and providing feedback to Mark Jones and the AHSAA in order for them to analyze how it is working, its success and failure and its continued usage in the future.”

house,” Edgewood coach Sellers Dubberley said. “Anytime you can beat a team that is that talented, it’s just nice to see we’re on track.” The Wildcats (3-0) thrived behind their home atmosphere but they had to shake off some nerves early in the opener. The visitors leveled the score at 5-5 in the first set after some mental mistakes from Edgewood. Dubberley saw a response from his team that surprised the two-time state champion coach. “From that point on, it was never close,” Dubberley said. “That opening set gave us all the momentum.” The home team pulled away to win the first set 25-9. The Wildcats had contributions from across the court, including six different players recording a kill. CJ Weldon and Madison White each had two aces in the set. White was not done as her big performance came in the second set. Edgewood continued to dominate with a 25-13 win in the set and it was the junior leading the way. She had 22 assists to go along with another ace and a block. White finished the match with 43 assists. “She’s made a huge leap forward from last season,” Dubberley said. “She has

“The quarterback is a shifty guy,” Franklin said. “He runs well and can throw it. He’s a dual-threat kind of guy that we’ll have to slow down. With as good of an athlete as he is, I don’t know if you can stop him but we have to control him and keep him at bay.” Lyons threw for 178 yards and two touchdowns in last week’s loss to Tallassee. Junior Devontae Houston is the lead running back for the Tigers. He already has two rushing touchdowns this season. Holtville should expect a physical football game. The Bulldogs like to spread it out on offense and Franklin hopes that can get the Tigers out of their defensive comfort zone. “We’re going to have to play really fast,” Franklin said. “The goal is to get into the fourth

quarter and give yourself a chance.” Drake Baker attempted seven passes in last week’s win, throwing for 159 yards and three touchdowns. Dajon Reeves, who caught two touchdown passes in last year’s game against Handley, finished the season opener with 83 receiving yards and a touchdown. The Bulldogs have not had to use Baker much this season but the pass-first offense will see Baker utilize more often, especially if Handley takes an early lead. Reeves and senior Jaderrick Carter will continue to be the top targets for Baker. Holtville has not won a region game since 2013. If the Bulldogs can pull off the victory against Handley, it will be the program’s first two-game winning streak since 2010.

do damage,” Dubberley said. “There’s no drop off, there’s no weak point. That’s nice to have.” Edgewood won the final set 25-5 to complete the sweep. The Wildcats did not have a service error in the third set, finishing 24 for 24. The team connected on 94.4 percent of its serves on the night. “Our goal is to get 90 percent, and when we get there, I’m a happy coach,” Dubberley said. “It doesn’t matter what else is going well though, if we’re below that 90 percent, that frustrates me as a coach. One bad serve can let the other team back into a match.” Dubberley did not have to worry about that during Edgewood’s win. It was the second victory of the week for the Wildcats after they knocked off Glenwood in the team’s first area match last Tuesday. Dubberley said he tries not to put too much importance into early matches but the result against Autauga was noteworthy. “To be honest, it did (surprise me),” Dubberley said. “That was the most dominant and clean win we’ve had in a long time. And that’s not to take away anything from Autauga because they have given us a hard time for the last two years.”

Purdue said Eagle Scout projects like Kujala’s teach the values of selflessness and hard work. “We try to teach, through our projects, the importance of giving up yourself to the community,” Purdue said. “Eagle Scout projects have to benefit someone other than the boy, and it cannot benefit scouting.” Kujala credited those who volunteered their time and effort, as well as those who donated for their support. “Without their help, this never would have happened,” Kujala said.

Kujala said he was able to come up with the money through donations from family and friends. Other than that, Kujala said the building process was “pretty great.” Additionally, Kujala said he learned about some of the basics of construction. “I learned about how you have to lay down a seal coat, and about how you have to wet the concrete before you start sealing it,” Kujala

What’s keeping you?

“I

t is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables.... But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” - Acts 6:2,4 The complaint was valid. Some widows were being neglected in the church’s daily benevolence ministry. The crisis created by the neglect was real. It threatened the unity of the young church. How did the apostles handle this important challenge? The apostles had a clear sense of their calling. They knew their role and responsibility in the growing community of disciples in Jerusalem. As leaders, they were ultimately responsible for addressing the threat. They also knew they did not have to personally do the work to get the job done. So the apostles appointed and commissioned

seven men to solve the problem. The widows’ needs could be met, and the apostles could stay on task, praying and ministering the word to the people. It’s a beautiful picture of how a healthy body of believers should function, with members knowing and doing their respective work. Let’s take a different lesson from the apostles’ words in our text for this week’s column. Spending time in prayer and with the word of God should be a priority for all disciples of Christ, not just leaders. It’s true that leaders have the special task and accountability for leading and feeding the flock. That duty requires extended time with the Lord. But every child in God’s family needs time with the Father. The apostles knew their priority assignment would suffer if they gave time to other matters that clamored for their attention.

MIKE MCELROY East Tallassee Church of Christ My question for you and me today is this: What other matters in your life are threatening to rob you of your prayer and Bible study time? Like the apostles, we may find that even things good and right in themselves can take time that should be spent with God. It’s good and important to be busy in good works, serving others in Jesus’ name. It’s very important to take adequate time for family life. God also wants us to work to provide for ourselves and our families, and be able to help others. But if we let such opportunities take every available

moment of our days, we will miss the blessing God intends to give us in our personal time with him. It’s also easy (and enjoyable) to give too much time to recreational pursuits. I doubt that any well-balanced Christian sees any harm in good, wholesome entertainment. Everyone needs time to relax. But if my television, my computer, my video game, my phone, my book or any piece of recreational equipment robs me of time for prayer and the word, I have a problem rooted in my priorities. As Jesus said in the parable of the soils, the cares of this world have a way of choking out the Word. I also fear that we will neglect prayer and Bible study when we lack a sense of our dependence on God. When I don’t think I need directions, I’m not likely to

listen to someone trying to tell me. When we’re blessed with plenty of material things, we’re in danger of losing a sense of dependence on God to provide. We might agree that it’s fine for you to listen to God and talk to him if you want to or need to. But if we think we’re doing fine, thank you, we may not choose to devote much if any of our time to earnest searching the Scriptures and fervent prayer. The apostles knew that nothing was important enough to divert their attention from praying and ministering in the Word. May God grant you and me the grace to realize that our own time with God is too important to allow anything to keep us from it. Mike McElroy is pastor at East Tallassee Church of Christ and a regular faith columnist for Tallapoosa Publishers.

Hedgehogs

Find The 12 Differences

Hedgehogs are small mammals found in many parts of the World. They look cute and cuddly, despite being covered in thousands of tiny spikes that protect their bodies. They are small animals, ranging in size from one-to-four pounds and only a few inches in length. They are nocturnal which means that they sleep during the day and are awake at night. Some live in forests, while others are able to survive in desert climates. Only certain types of hedgehogs hibernate, or sleep through the Winter. Others sometimes go into a trance-like sleep for shorter periods of time. That is called torpor. Hedgehogs are omnivores which means they eat plants and meat. They like small insects, such as scorpions or spiders. They will also forage around for Using a grid helps when drawing. Copy the fallen fruit, mushrooms, and other small prey. A hedgehog may shoot his prickly spines up when threatened, but most hedgehog square by square below. tend to curl up into a small ball. A special muscle that runs the length of their bodies allows them to curl completely into a ball, protecting their soft bellies, head, feet and legs from a predator. Most animals will avoid their spines. Many people wish to keep hedgehogs as pets, but it is illegal in several states in the United States.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are determined to accomplish whatever you need and want, yet your attention could turn to a recurring domestic or personal matter. Your intuition guides you, especially with a partner and an investment. ReĂ&#x2026;ect on the positive and relax. Tonight: Allâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well that ends well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You make the eÉ&#x2C6;ort to touch base with a friend. You could be surprised by how much suddenly appears on your plate. Know that you can handle it all, as long as you prioritize. Do not hesitate to move an appointment or get-together. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to an invitation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A problem reminds you to keep a close watch on your Ă&#x201E;nances. Whatever you do, you do 100 percent. Do not allow your eÉ&#x2C6;orts to be ignored or discouraged. Be more forthright and upbeat. Do not ask anyone for a favor right now. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your creativity and energy give you the ability to move through problems with ease and make the best of positive developments. Your Ă&#x2026;exibility is unusually high. If you feel the need, move an appointment. Invite friends over for some fun and games. Tonight: Paint the town red. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might sense that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the kind of control you usually do. Step back and allow others to do what they want. No matter what you say or do, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to inĂ&#x2026;uence a loved one. Take care of a personal matter sooner rather than later. Tonight: Get some extra sleep. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your diligence and willingness to follow through on priorities draw people toward you. Others notice how eÉ&#x2C6;ective you can be if you relax and go with the moment. Tap into your creativity when hitting an obstacle. Tonight: A child or loved one could test your commitment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have not disclosed everything

Reaching more than 22,000 households in Tallapoosa and Elmore counties

you know to an interested party. This person could Ă&#x201E;nd out accidentally, and you might need all of your diplomacy and charm to make peace! Buy a gift for a loved one. You do not need to go overboard; just be selective. Tonight: As you like it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Reach out to someone you care about. You might not get exactly what you want, but you will feel a lot better once you display your compassion. Your creativity puts an interesting twist on information you are hearing. Tonight: Make plans for a mini-escape as soon as you can. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You understand more than you choose to reveal. What is happening around you could take a radical twist if you are not careful. Finances might be involved. Be careful to read all the Ă&#x201E;ne print, as there easily could be a misrepresentation. Tonight: Check your budget before going out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have become changeable, but in a slow, decisive manner. Others could be testing your limits and making sure you really mean what you say. Be patient as they try diÉ&#x2C6;erent techniques to change your response. Make a point of visiting with a loved one. Tonight: Out with a friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Dive into a project or clear out some important calls. You might be in the mood to overthink an issue, which is not going to create change immediately. Instead, toss yourself into your life and perhaps schedule a massage. You will feel more upbeat later. Tonight: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You appear to be an endless resource to many people. You could be unusually dynamic with a project that means a lot to you. You hit a roadblock when dealing with a long-term goal. Walk around the issue! Tonight: A friend could rain on your parade -- if you allow him or her to.

Electronic cigarette wave hitting high schools throughout region By DUSTIN DUNCAN Staff Writer

Long gone are the days of high school students getting caught smoking cigarettes in the bathroom or around buildings during lunch. Now students are finding more creative ways to get a nicotine fix during the school day. Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigs, have gotten smaller and more compact for those looking for an alternative to smoking actual cigarettes. The JUUL e-cig is small device that looks like a flash drive and has a USB port at one end for a charging port. JUUL owners can charge their devices by using any technology with a USB drive. The device uses a heating mechanism that creates an aerosol. Users then inhale nicotine with having to press any buttons to activate the product. The Center for Disease and Control says nicotine is highly addictive and can harm adolescent brain development, which continues into the early to mid-20s. Flavors associated with JUUL include CrĂ¨me Brulee, Fruit

Medley, Mango and Classic Tobacco. JUULâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website says the device was founded by former smokers with the goal of improving the lives of other smokers. The website says the device is an alternative to smoking but is not appropriate for people who do not already smoke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These alternatives contain nicotine, which has not been shown to cause cancer but can create dependency,â&#x20AC;? JUULâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website reads under its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Intentâ&#x20AC;? section. The CDC reports that in 2016 more than 2 million U.S. middle and high school students used e-cigs in the past 30 days, including 4.3 percent of middle school students and 11.3 percent of high school students. According to Alabama law, no person under the age of 19 can purchase, use or possess an electronic cigarette. Benjamin Russell High School Principal Anthony Wilkinson said the high school had two incidents of students using the e-cig this past school year, and while the problem hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t arisen this year, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aware it is a popular item. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not really in the best interest when the

makers make it look like a USB jump drive,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are marketing directly to the young kids.â&#x20AC;? If any student is caught with an e-cig, Wilkinson said it is same as having any tobacco product or a lighter. The punishment will result in a three-day suspension.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is the same as cigarettes back in the day,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if anybody really knows what chemicals are placed in those. It is not something we want to have on this campus.â&#x20AC;? Wetumpka High School Principal Robert Slater said the school district is aware of the

popularity of e-cigs and have made adjustments to its student handbook spelling out the consequences of using them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is something we added to our handbook because it is something that is popular with young kids,â&#x20AC;? he said. Slater said there hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a major problem at the high school but administrators are looking for it. He said some devices are so small itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to catch students who hide around buildings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch kids smoking or see lighters anymore because they do the e-cigarettes,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are out there, and the more they are out there and smaller and more compact they become, the harder it is to catch.â&#x20AC;? At Wetumpka, punishment for

possession of tobacco products starts at three days of in-school suspension. Slater said the punishment gets tougher for each subsequent offense. Dadeville High School Principal Chris Hand said the issue hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit his school either, but he has informed teachers and the resource school officer about it. The punishment at Dadeville is similar to Wetumpka â&#x20AC;&#x201C; three days of in-school suspension. JUUL has been publicly fighting against the use of its product for minors. A spokesperson for the company told the newspaper that the company is investing $30 million throughout the next three years to independent research, youth and parent education and community engagement efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;JUUL is intended for current adult smokers only,â&#x20AC;? a JUUL spokesperson said in an emailed statement to the newspaper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cannot be more emphatic on this point: no minor or non-nicotine user should ever try JUUL. Our packaging includes a prominent nicotine label and clearly states for adult smokers.â&#x20AC;? In order to purchase JUUL products on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, a person must be 21 years old. When making the purchase on the website, there is age verification software that makes the purchaser enter his or herâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s date of birth, legal name, permanent address and enter the last four digits of that personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social security number because finalizing the transaction. JUUL products can also be purchased at Mapco and Delta Express convenience stores throughout the region. Individuals have to be at least 19 years old to purchase the items at a retail location.
